Parliamentary excerpt

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to implement Recommendation 7 in the Module 2 Report of the Covid-19 Inquiry, published on 20 November 2025.

Government answer

Answering body: Department for Education

The government does not intend to introduce legislation to make Child’s Rights Impact Assessments a statutory requirement at this time.

The department is working closely with Cabinet Office and other government departments to strengthen the consideration of children and young people’s interests within overall risk planning, including in relation to pandemics and other emergencies.
